I mean to say that TV sets sold in this county/area (had only one local VHF-8) so they were ordered with UHF option from factory as soon as that was available, prior to them being required as standard starting in 1964.

The most popular UHF antenna was a corner reflector bowtie or a flat bowtie (not 4 bay). There are many 65+ Y.O. UHF antennas still on rooftops as part of the original installation, not added later on mast below the VHF antenna. https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...t=0&ajaxserp=0
